=== Fedora 14 Concept Decision ===
=== Design for the Local Communities Website ===


With the deadline reached, at the weekly IRC meeting the Design Team decided on the graphic concept for Fedora 14<ref>http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/F14_Artwork_Theme_Concepts</ref>, which was announced<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/design-team/2010-July/002772.html</ref> by [[User:duffy|Máirín Duffy]] on the Design Team mailing list "I double- and triple-counted our votes today - each voter picked their top 3 concepts - and the winner is Kyle Baker's concept for Fedora 14 with 9 votes." The next step is turning this concept in an usable wallpaper image and including in into the Fedora 14 Alpha release to gather feedback.
[[User:duffy|Máirín Duffy]] posted<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/design-team/2010-July/002819.html</ref> a mockup for the new local communities landing page<ref>http://www.fedoracommunity.org/</ref> "So Sijis converted it to the 960.gs grid we've been looking at using for the upcoming new www.fpo" and [[User:schendje|Jef van Schendel]] proposed<ref>http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/design-team/2010-July/002821.html</ref> the use of flags "Maybe flags would be less trouble + take up less space + be clearer."

Everyone is invited to comment and spread the word, the deadline for Alpha is 2 weeks away.

Also in Fedora 14 related news, the Design Team is calling for contributions[4] with the supplemental wallpapers[5] where everyone is invited tu submit freely licensed images (CC-BY or CC-BY-SA) and the team will make a selection for inclusion in the distro.
